Sierra Nevada Coffee Stout Review

Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.
Chico, California, USA


6.2% abv
12oz bottle
$15.00 for a 12 pack sampler

Appearance: pitch black body with a small (1/4 inch if that) light tan head; spot here and there for lacing


Aroma: mild-moderate toasted grains; not much else after that

Flavors: coffee comes through in the taste front and center; dark roasted grains; roasted chestnut and black walnut; 90% dark chocolate like bitterness on the back;

Mouthfeel: low carbonation; dark toasted flavors coat the palate; dark chocolate bitterness; medium-full body for a stout; not syrupy; lingering roasted notes and bitterness on the aftertaste


To the Point: if you like dark roasted flavors this is it; to me it almost comes across like a big time Nut Brown in its flavors and mouthfeel; the nose was disappointing; the flavors did not disappoint;
